โฆ Synopsis
Seasonal patterns were seen in fetal growth and in abortion rate for families using electrically heated beds. These patterns could be attributed to the seasonal use of heated beds. The fact that such seasonal patterns were seen only in users, and not in nonusers, of electrically heated beds suggests that electrical bed heating may have a direct effect on fetal development. The effect could be due to excessive heat or to electromagnetic field exposure.
